news article week 7

The I:
Bankers are being forced to urinate in buckets while call centre workers have to log when they go to a toilet, new research by Unite has found. Thousands of workers across the UK are being denied their “toilet dignity”, say the union, with workers submitting stories revealing that they are not allowed to go to toilet unless they are on their break.
Which leads to a situation where people are denied their basic human rights and are treated very inhumanely. It leads to workers feeling embarrassed in their workplace and  denied their basic human rights. I think that this would interest readers as this is an extreme situation and may feel relatable to readers as they may feel like their human rights are being exploited or maybe to younger readers when teachers denied their request.

 Mail online:
A moped gang armed with Samurai swords, a sledgehammer and an axe rammed a stolen car into a high-end jewellery store before stabbing a heroic passer-by when he tried to stop them. 
This is hard news and would interest an audience as it is a negative news story which leaves the readers feeling vulnerable and targets the fears of an audience. it shows them first stealing a car and then using that to rob a jewellery store. It then shows them stabbing a man who attempted to help them which shows they came prepared to do anything to make sure they got away and are very dangerous.

Introduction to Representation

1) List the different people / groups represented in the trailer. Men Women Americans 2) For each group you identify, decide whether the representation is a dominant or alternative portrayal. Explain why you think this. Men-Dominant Men are seen to have a dominant portrayal, as they are seen to take advantage of the women in the film, fighting to save the woman and being aggressive. The main Character is seen to be strong, brave and seems to be better then all the other characters, effectively it shows that the main character is a man and has to save his daughter who is seen to be the "princess" who needs to be saved. Women-Dominant The stereotype for women is that they are vulnerable and require help to be saved. In the movie her father instructs her to do some things, which would help him to find her so that he is able to rescue her. The daughter is seen as weak and happened to find herself in exactly the situation which her father said she would be in and ha

Audeince Theory

Hypodermic needle model. 1) the hypodermic needle is a model of communication developed in the 20's after the researchers observed the effects of the WW1 propaganda which showed the audience fully accepted the technique portraying the medias power to the public. in a similar manner video games are also having a profound effect on those playing them on a regular basis which is what links this article to the hypodermic needle. professor bushman has shown in the research that when the results were shown the students who played the violent games may come to see the world as a more hostile and violent as it showed in their behaviour which is linked to how the characters of the video games would think n their surroundings. 2) the main reason for criticism for this front page is the head line used - a 15 year old, who is a video game addict and rarely leaves his bedroom suggests that the media is to blame, because the media influences the audience and this has a negative impact on t

Audience Theory 2

1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? I believe that social learning theory is not entirely responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence in society as people can use this as an excuse for any form of media, this could restrict media in many ways, as people could even say the same thing about movies or posters. People understand that what happens in video games is not the same as what happens in real life and people should not treat life the same way they do in games. 2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behaviour from social media and the internet? Give examples. People do learn things from social media and the internet in this digital age and we can see this from many viral things which occur are often re-enacted by many people, however not everyone follows social media, but those who do
